I have come to realize Evolution as we know it is a fabrication. Fanatically exaggerated, ruthlessly defended, and blindly followed
Some exerts from my postings..

Richard Dawkins gets knocked senseless by a simple yet brilliant question



Classic

"can you give an example of an evolutionary process that has been seen to add to the genome?"

think about it

The Genome is like an operating system of sorts

And DNA is like the programming language used to create "programs", or life forms

All life forms on the entire planet, no matter what species, genus, family, kingdom, etc.. use the exact same operating system, and the same exact programming language

all the way back to the oldest fossils we have ever found, the Genome has never changed, and the structure of DNA has never changed

seriously..

IF DNA, and THE GENOME, WERE EVOLVED BY CHANCE.. WHY DID THEY STOP EVOLVING?

why can we not see how the genome came about?

it is the same, and always has been, and always will be

Because it was installed by a Divine Creator, God Almighty

scientists estimate that the odds of amino acids structuring themselves into a single strand of DNA are 1 out of 10 to the 850th power

that means 1 out of 10 with 850 zeros after it

The odds of that strand of DNA further evolving to the level required to produce one single celled organism are.. get this..

1 out of 10 to the 760,000th power

can you imagine that in your head?

picture the number 10, with 760 THOUSAND zeros after it

Now contemplate this.. the more complex life gets, the more variables you add. this means that the odds grow DRAMATICALLY with every small step towards more advanced life. it is exponential growth.

here is my beef

creationism and evolutionism are opposing theories

creationism, as we define it, cannot exist without some level of compromise, IF evolutionism, as we define it, exists without some level of compromise

yet.. one of them is shoved down our throats form the time we are in gradeschool.. and the other is outright banned form the curriculum

even if you don't beleive in creationism, does it not OUTRAGE you that all children basically will believe in evolutionism ONLY because those in authority have forced it upon them?

think about it kiddos
 Quoting: to the bitter end 497721


Furthermore, Darwin said that IF his theory was true, then science would find evolutionary links, all throughout the geological record

Have we?

Absolutely not

Science is always looking for that missing link between Man and Ape, but people completely ignore the fact that we have not found ONE SINGLE missing link between ANY TWO organisms, EVER

some theory!

Here is what blows my mind

Darwin created this theory. He loved it. He nurtured it. But even he wasn't BLINDED by it, as most of the people int his thread, and most of the "educated" (indoctrinated) world as we know it are

Darwin was very open about the theory's gaping flaws

In fact, it is widely believed that on his deathbed he completely recanted his theory

Granted, that is just speculation. However, what I will show you below is not speculation. these are all strait from the mouth of Darwin. Enjoy..

General difficulties: "Long before having arrived at this part of my work, a crowd of difficulties will have occurred to my reader. Some of them are so grave that to this day I can never reflect on them without being staggered .......". Also: " .....scarcely a single point is discussed in this volume on which the facts cannot be adduced, often apparently leading to conclusions directly opposite to those at which I arrived".

On natural selection: And to think that the eye could evolve "by natural selection seems, I freely confess, absurd to the highest degree". Also: "Nothing at first can appear more difficult to believe than that the more complex organisms and instincts should have been perfected, not by means superior to, though analogous with, human reason, but by the accumulation of innumerable slight variations ........".

On instinct: Such "simple" instincts as bees making a beehive could be "sufficient to overthrow my whole theory".

On his own reasoning: "But then arises the doubt, can the mind of a man, which has, as I fully believe, been developed from a mind as low as that possessed by the lowest animals, be trusted when it draws such grand conclusions? ....... Would anyone trust in the convictions of a monkey's mind, if there are any convictions in such a mind". and

"Often a cold shudder has run through me, and I have asked myself whether I may have not devoted myself to a phantasy". (Charles Darwin, Life and Letters, 1887, Vol. 2, p. 229).

In relation to religious thought: Darwin referred to his theory as "The devil's gospel" (Ankerberg, 1998a).

On fossil evidence: "Why then is not every geological formation full of such intermediate links. Geology assuredly does not reveal any finely graduated organic change, and this is the most obvious and serious objection that can be urged against the theory".
 Quoting: to the bitter end 497721


dude, stop oversimplifying and exaggerating your conjecture to make it seem like it proves anything

no credible researcher would every deny that "micro-evolution" can be observed and is fact

but no truthful scientist would ever expand it to prove evolution between species, because there simply is no proof

what offends you more, the idea of a creator? or is it just plain and simple logic that you despise?

yes logic. that wonderful tool we all have, as deep thinking humans. deep thought.. an amazing and powerful thing. something no animal has ever been observed to be able to demonstrate.

there were a lot of deep thinkers throughout history.

Copernicus, Francis Bacon, Einstein, Isaac Newton, Gellileo, Mendel, Kelvin.. just to a name a few

Guess the common trait amongst all these great contributors above.

did you guess it yet? bingo. they all believed in God

Yes indeed, God was generous in the vast wisdom and knowledge he bestowed upon mankind

And he was even more generous in giving us a perfect existence. How can you explain the fact that every single place where mankind has developed, has had a complete and perfect Diet, with every vitamin, protein, and nutrient needed for survival? Name one other animal that can survive EVERYWHERE that man can survive. there is not one.

Another logical question. Why did all civilizations begin springing up at or around the exact same time, all over the world?

Babylon, Egypt, Chaldea, Syria, Sinai, Russian Steppes, Annunaki, The Mound Builders of the US, Maya, Inca, Ankgor Wat..

In the modern theory of evolution we would expect cultures in isolated parts of the world to develop at VASTLY different rates. Yet somehow, that spark of civilization erupted throughout the world at more or less the same time period.

And how do you explain Egypt, Ankgor Wat, and the South American Megalithic Societies all having more or less the same architecture? Where does evolution play into that?

Since you just blatantly push aside all my logic and evidence that evolution as we know it is hollow and empty and completely based on faith, I will bring you evidence of a different matter

debunk this if you can ( and you can't. noone can )





And before you even start with your trademark hate-filled venomous ranting, know that when I say debunked I mean use some logic and some real thought. Don't just spew out some opinionated garbage like you have done all throughout this page.
 Quoting: to the bitter end 497721


Its like this.....

Evolution is entirely possible when you have unfathomable amounts of time. Massive odds against are overcome when there is so much time involved.

Add into the equation that the first seeds of life on this planet may have arrived from a comet / asteroid and you have even more time to play with since life could have evolved elsewhere before our sun was even born.

For those who say kids today are involuntarily brainwashed with evolution, well all I can say is that those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

Its difficult to see evolution in motion during our lifetimes when its roughly 20 years for humans to go from one generation to the next.

The closest real proof we can see of evolution with our own eyes is with Bacteria. They reproduce every 30 mins. Prime example, when antibiotics where first discovered they worked very well. Now many forms of antibiotics are becoming redundant. In each case several bacteria out of trillions upon trillions have found a way to overcome the effect of antibiotics and successfully reproduced and thrived in an evironment that was once toxic to them. Evolution is reponsible for MRSA. That is something that we can comprehend as proof in our lifetime.
 Quoting: to the bitter end 497721


That isn't even close to proof. See my last post.. what you are describing is micro-evolution. It has not, at any point in time, ever been viewed as CREDIBLE proof by any serious scientist.

With conjecture you can construe anything as proof. But that doesn't make it proof.

As a Believer, I see proof in everything of God. But try pushing faith based proof onto a hardcore Atheist and you will just hit a brick wall.

What you are describing is the same thing. Faith based proof. You have faith in the theory, so you "see" proof even where it is not.

That is how people work. Take any conspiracy theory for example. Find someone who is adamantly pushing that theory, and you will see the same pattern. They can see proof where others see the opposite.

The problem with Evolutionists today is that we live in a world where Evolution is sensationalized, and it is a politically correct topic. Whereas Creationism isn't. This plants a seed in people's minds.

In conclusion, if your mind finds any mention of Evolution favorable, you will accept any view in favor of it more readily than you would entertain a thought pointing in the direction of Creationism, which you have a demonstrated bias against.

Here is my question to you. Ask yourself this. Why are an overwhelming amount of the viruses, the bacteria, and the microorganisms we find reaching far back into the fossil record (hundreds of millions of years) still more or less the same exact organisms we observe today? They reproduce, as you stated, at remarkably constant rates, yet they have not evolved, they have not followed the "survival of the fittest" mentality. They are still the same organisms they were then.

The thing about micro-evolution is that it can only be observed by behavior and action or by dissecting strands of DNA to see what genes have been altered. You cannot view something with the naked eye and tell the difference. And it has been that way since as far back into the fossil record as we can reach.

Something to think about friend

How does this fit into the whole evolution conundrum?
 Quoting: to the bitter end 497721


Look, I understand that the idea of creatures evolving into higher beings is almost universally accepted among the educated.

And I understand that the notion that what you have been taught since day 1, could be absolutely and 100% wrong in the context that it was taught, is offensive to many people.

But what should offend you more? The fact that people disagree with you, or the fact that you may have been completely corralled like animals into a specific thought process?

When I believed in evolution, I got offended at people who attacked it. It is normal. There is a certain level of system shock that occurs when such firmly ingrained beliefs are skewed and shaken from their foundations. It introduces an irrational state of panic into your mind.

That's why i appreciate that the Author (PPsimmons) of these videos I have posted, is very open minded. Though he is a Christian, he isn't trying to completely assassinate and replace your mindset and beliefs. He is simply presenting them in a logical and scientific manner, that is very easy to ride along with.

Actually, these videos are quite enjoyable. He has a very peaceable and well educated demeanor about him.

If you are only going to watch one of his evolution conundrum series videos, make it this one.

It is very appealing to people of any scientific opinion regarding evolution.

Again.. I myself was a firm believer in evolutionism. Actually up until recently I resided in the happy lukewarm medium where The Bible was somehow compatible with mainstream Evolutionism in my mind. And I had no desire to stray from this happy medium. But then bit by bit I started to question Evolutionism. As a result, I began to see things form a whole different perspective.

You have to set aside bias, and preconception. You have to be willing to challenge your beliefs. I have had to challenge mine repeatedly every since I turned to the Lord. And that was only quite recently, mind you. 6 months ago I would have been just like "nomuse," blindly attacking even the most insignifigant parts of people's posts simply to assassinate their credibility. It is the strength of the Lord granting peace upon my soul that has allowed me to open my eyes without attacking viciously anyone who disagrees with me. But that is a story for a different day.

For now, please enjoy this video. It is gentle, it is logical, and it is scientific. It is not venomous and closed minded, like a certain poster I have mentioned in this reply already.

After all.. if we cannot challenge ourselves, what good is there believing anything? You can fill an empty cup with whatever fluid you wish.



Peace

Since we are on the subject of Ape and Man..

Here is something that struck me this morning

Ask yourself this

Why can man, who shares 98% of his DNA with chimpanzees.. not interbreed with them?

What happened in that tiny insignificant 2 % discrepancy that created a lock-out on cross breeding?

This is perplexing for a specific reason. We are supposedly a direct offshoot from chimpanzees, yet we are genetically locked-out from them. We are hard-code programmed to not be able to produce genetic offspring with them.

Yet, chimpanzees have been shown to be able to interbreed with Apes of many different species.

And not only the small primates, but the larger ones as well, have successfully interbred with eachother.

Why can all apes interbreed with eachother, but not with humans?

Maybe the simple answer is.. because humans are not apes. And we never were.

But let us get more technical here..

I am certain we all know what llamas are. But do you know what Alpacas are? They are basically a variant of the llama. Both are among 4 species that we find in South America, specifically in the more mountainous regions such as Peru and Chile.

These can both interbreed with eachother. But this isn't really surprising is it?

Let's get a bit more technical with it.

Camels. We all know what Camels are. And we all know they are concentrated in Africa and the Middle East, as well as parts of Asia.

They are not the same species. But guess what? They can interbreed.

Yes, Camels and Llamas/Alpacas can freely interbreed and produce perfectly healthy offspring.

We all know Horses and Donkeys can interbreed as well, and thus we get Mules.

But did you know that Horses and Zebras can interbreed? What about Donkeys and Zebras? Yes indeed..

Ever heard of a liger? You guessed it. The genetic offspring of a Lion and a Tiger.

Granted, the lion tiger issue doesn't seem terribly surprising. But what if they could interbreed with Jaguars, who are form South America?

They can.

In fact, Jaguars, Lions, Tigers, and Leopards can all freely interbreed and produce healthy genetic offspring.

[link to en.wikipedia.org]







I won't ramble on and on here..

It is clear that there are genetic locks that determine what creatures can interbreed. This is something that Evolution steers clear of because it cannot explain it.

Each after his OWN kind....

[20] And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
[21] And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
[22] And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
[23] And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
[24] And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
[25] And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
[26] And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
[27] So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.


Each after his OWN kind....

Here is a great wiki page that shows more creaters of the same KIND that can interbreed with eachother.

I don't believe the standard theory of evolution because I lack the faith that is necessary to believe it.

The "mainstream" discussion between "creationists" and "evolutionists" is a discussion between blind and deaf people, though.

Is there adaptive change in Nature? Yes, there is. Is that adaptive change a blind, random process? No,it is not!

Hard "creationists" and hard "evolutionists" are wrong, both of them.

How much time have you spent looking for it?

That's the thing about Creationism. You can't just sit around and expect to see the science unfold itself before your eyes.

That only works with evolutionism. From the moment you plop yourself down at your desk in elementary school.

Or in front of the television.

Or at your computer.

There is some amazing science and logic behind creationism, but it is banned from the curriculum.

You would think that once you break out of the eggshell and make it to institutes of higher learning then you have the opportunity to pursue it. However, that isn't the case either.

Professors who merely mention the possiblity of creationism or intelligent design are persecuted. They have their entire careers destroyed, and they have their futures scattered to the wind, and forevermore the mere mention of their name carries a negative connotation with it.

Does that sound like opinion? Speculation? Is it too nasty to be true?

Afraid it is true.

Check out Ben Steins infamous (read: hated) documentary "Expelled: No intelligence allowed" and you will see the Higher Education (read: liar indoctrination) system for what it is.

If you dare

btw: It is on Netflix

I never fathomed how people could believe in the idiotic evolution idea in the first place

but then I am backwards to this world in full

in every way

somewhere back in ancient times they switched the axiom with the idiom and it hasn't been caught onto just yet by the masses awareness, and/or they are blindly programmed to go along with status quo, regardless, without thinking

soon, soon it will be changed BACK to "as it should be"

evolution is just another satanic deception meant to distract from the truth of the world and our Creator

and science itself has debunked the theory of evolution time and again but you won't catch them announcing that in this respect!!! Hell no!

I appreciate your level of respect for difference of belief. The feeling is mutual friend.

It is not people's opinions that offend me. It is not the fact that Evolution is pressed about so carelessly and freely that bothers me either. In fact, I think it is healthy for science and open debate that all theories, regardless of the prejudices of others, should have ample opportunity to be heard and dissected and analyzed.

This is, in essence, what I am at odds with. Creationism is, plain and simple, a despised topic, an entity that is persecuted and silenced as if it were a prisoner of war, right alongside those who support it in any professional sense.

It is a credible science, and as such, deserves an equal footing with Evolutionism, or any other theory. I cannot fathom any truthful scientist that would dispute that right, but sadly it is a crime that is perpetrated daily.

As far as the need to justify my beliefs.. honestly, it doesn't matter if anyone agrees with my personally or not. I don't make threads like this on my own behalf. None of you will ever meet me in real life anyway.

Some things just need to be said.

I am aware there is a certain level of .. unrest.. in some of the quotes above. This is because the thread they resulted form was involved in a very heated discussion at the time. If you want to view that thread, search for "why some people cannot comprehend or accept evolution?"

If you check it out you will find that my replies were quite tame compared to those of a certain person I was in debate with :)

There's a theory of Creationism?

If there was, it would be well worth investigating.

Here's a challenge...can you falsify it? If you can't, it remains no more scientifically useful than a "what if?" story.

I don't know if you said this but many people don't realize that darwin was very racist.He believed the lighter race was the smart race and the darker race was closer to our start.We all know what that was according to him.Our schools leave that part of their theory out of it.

It's not impossible to imagine that there are infinite universes - and we simply exist in one that ticks all the right boxes, but I don't think so. We instinctively lean towards a godhead, because the most basic understanding we all have, is that things that happen have causes. It is the foundation of logic - the tool that helped us achieve all the things we have, thus far. Taken to its logical conclusion, it is difficult to imagine that all things result from some unprovoked, random occurrence.

That's all I have.

You mean you disagree with treating all people equally, and giving everyone equal access, regardless of their genetic heritage?

Because that's what Darwin argued for, passionately, in his writing.

This was all settled back in the 19th century, ffs.

Evolution is an observed FACT.
Natural selection is the theory universally accepted by biologists as being the mechanism of evolution.

How much time have you spent looking for it?

That's the thing about Creationism. You can't just sit around and expect to see the science unfold itself before your eyes.

That only works with evolutionism. From the moment you plop yourself down at your desk in elementary school.

Or in front of the television.

Or at your computer.

There is some amazing science and logic behind creationism, but it is banned from the curriculum.

You would think that once you break out of the eggshell and make it to institutes of higher learning then you have the opportunity to pursue it. However, that isn't the case either.

Professors who merely mention the possiblity of creationism or intelligent design are persecuted. They have their entire careers destroyed, and they have their futures scattered to the wind, and forevermore the mere mention of their name carries a negative connotation with it.

Does that sound like opinion? Speculation? Is it too nasty to be true?

Afraid it is true.

Check out Ben Steins infamous (read: hated) documentary "Expelled: No intelligence allowed" and you will see the Higher Education (read: liar indoctrination) system for what it is.

If you dare

btw: It is on Netflix

Along with many other great documentaries, from either side of the argument. Great resource for only 8 bucks a month.

Ask any believer of evolution if their ancestors were monkeys. Not one will admit it!! But maybe they were. Humans were created!!!!!
At the same time, Where did the Gods come from? All questions will be answered by them soon, I think.

Shoot man.. you are right

You just destroyed my whole premise

To think I was foolish enough to ask questions and challenge the status quo

Mama's Wrong, Colonel Sanders is right. What got into my Medula Oblongata?

I'm so glad you mentioned that noone takes the teachings of anyone who believes in God seriously

Now we can throw away everything we learned from all of these uneducated sheeple below, and really focus on our Hedonistic curriculum. Real scientists write books with pretty covers and make money. That's what science is all about. Substance? Genuine affection? Morals? pfft, save that unevolved garbage for the believers

No more use for:

Nicholas Copernicus (1473-1543)
Copernicus was the Polish astronomer who put forward the first mathematically based system of planets going around the sun. He attended various European universities, and became a Canon in the Catholic church in 1497. His new system was actually first presented in the Vatican gardens in 1533 before Pope Clement VII who approved, and urged Copernicus to publish it around this time. Copernicus was never under any threat of religious persecution - and was urged to publish both by Catholic Bishop Guise, Cardinal Schonberg, and the Protestant Professor George Rheticus. Copernicus referred sometimes to God in his works, and did not see his system as in conflict with the Bible.

Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1627)
Bacon was a philosopher who is known for establishing the scientific method of inquiry based on experimentation and inductive reasoning. In De Interpretatione Naturae Prooemium, Bacon established his goals as being the discovery of truth, service to his country, and service to the church. Although his work was based upon experimentation and reasoning, he rejected atheism as being the result of insufficient depth of philosophy, stating, "It is true, that a little philosophy inclineth man’s mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion; for while the mind of man looketh upon second causes scattered, it may sometimes rest in them, and go no further; but when it beholdeth the chain of them confederate, and linked together, it must needs fly to Providence and Deity." (Of Atheism)

Johannes Kepler (1571-1630)
Kepler was a brilliant mathematician and astronomer. He did early work on light, and established the laws of planetary motion about the sun. He also came close to reaching the Newtonian concept of universal gravity - well before Newton was born! His introduction of the idea of force in astronomy changed it radically in a modern direction. Kepler was an extremely sincere and pious Lutheran, whose works on astronomy contain writings about how space and the heavenly bodies represent the Trinity. Kepler suffered no persecution for his open avowal of the sun-centered system, and, indeed, was allowed as a Protestant to stay in Catholic Graz as a Professor (1595-1600) when other Protestants had been expelled!

Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)
Galileo is often remembered for his conflict with the Roman Catholic Church. His controversial work on the solar system was published in 1633. It had no proofs of a sun-centered system (Galileo's telescope discoveries did not indicate a moving earth) and his one "proof" based upon the tides was invalid. It ignored the correct elliptical orbits of planets published twenty five years earlier by Kepler. Since his work finished by putting the Pope's favorite argument in the mouth of the simpleton in the dialogue, the Pope (an old friend of Galileo's) was very offended. After the "trial" and being forbidden to teach the sun-centered system, Galileo did his most useful theoretical work, which was on dynamics. Galileo expressly said that the Bible cannot err, and saw his system as an alternate interpretation of the biblical texts.

Rene Descartes (1596-1650)
Descartes was a French mathematician, scientist and philosopher who has been called the father of modern philosophy. His school studies made him dissatisfied with previous philosophy: He had a deep religious faith as a Roman Catholic, which he retained to his dying day, along with a resolute, passionate desire to discover the truth. At the age of 24 he had a dream, and felt the vocational call to seek to bring knowledge together in one system of thought. His system began by asking what could be known if all else were doubted - suggesting the famous "I think therefore I am". Actually, it is often forgotten that the next step for Descartes was to establish the near certainty of the existence of God - for only if God both exists and would not want us to be deceived by our experiences - can we trust our senses and logical thought processes. God is, therefore, central to his whole philosophy. What he really wanted to see was that his philosophy be adopted as standard Roman Catholic teaching. Rene Descartes and Francis Bacon (1561-1626) are generally regarded as the key figures in the development of scientific methodology. Both had systems in which God was important, and both seem more devout than the average for their era.

Isaac Newton (1642-1727)
In optics, mechanics, and mathematics, Newton was a figure of undisputed genius and innovation. In all his science (including chemistry) he saw mathematics and numbers as central. What is less well known is that he was devoutly religious and saw numbers as involved in understanding God's plan for history from the Bible. He did a considerable work on biblical numerology, and, though aspects of his beliefs were not orthodox, he thought theology was very important. In his system of physics, God is essential to the nature and absoluteness of space. In Principia he stated, "The most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion on an intelligent and powerful Being."

Robert Boyle (1791-1867)
One of the founders and key early members of the Royal Society, Boyle gave his name to "Boyle's Law" for gases, and also wrote an important work on chemistry. Encyclopedia Britannica says of him: "By his will he endowed a series of Boyle lectures, or sermons, which still continue, 'for proving the Christian religion against notorious infidels...' As a devout Protestant, Boyle took a special interest in promoting the Christian religion abroad, giving money to translate and publish the New Testament into Irish and Turkish. In 1690 he developed his theological views in The Christian Virtuoso, which he wrote to show that the study of nature was a central religious duty." Boyle wrote against atheists in his day (the notion that atheism is a modern invention is a myth), and was clearly much more devoutly Christian than the average in his era.

Michael Faraday (1791-1867)
Michael Faraday was the son of a blacksmith who became one of the greatest scientists of the 19th century. His work on electricity and magnetism not only revolutionized physics, but led to much of our lifestyles today, which depends on them (including computers and telephone lines and, so, web sites). Faraday was a devoutly Christian member of the Sandemanians, which significantly influenced him and strongly affected the way in which he approached and interpreted nature. Originating from Presbyterians, the Sandemanians rejected the idea of state churches, and tried to go back to a New Testament type of Christianity.

Gregor Mendel (1822-1884)
Mendel was the first to lay the mathematical foundations of genetics, in what came to be called "Mendelianism". He began his research in 1856 (three years before Darwin published his Origin of Species) in the garden of the Monastery in which he was a monk. Mendel was elected Abbot of his Monastery in 1868. His work remained comparatively unknown until the turn of the century, when a new generation of botanists began finding similar results and "rediscovered" him (though their ideas were not identical to his). An interesting point is that the 1860's was notable for formation of the X-Club, which was dedicated to lessening religious influences and propagating an image of "conflict" between science and religion. One sympathizer was Darwin's cousin Francis Galton, whose scientific interest was in genetics (a proponent of eugenics - selective breeding among humans to "improve" the stock). He was writing how the "priestly mind" was not conducive to science while, at around the same time, an Austrian monk was making the breakthrough in genetics. The rediscovery of the work of Mendel came too late to affect Galton's contribution.

William Thomson Kelvin (1824-1907)
Kelvin was foremost among the small group of British scientists who helped to lay the foundations of modern physics. His work covered many areas of physics, and he was said to have more letters after his name than anyone else in the Commonwealth, since he received numerous honorary degrees from European Universities, which recognized the value of his work. He was a very committed Christian, who was certainly more religious than the average for his era. Interestingly, his fellow physicists George Gabriel Stokes (1819-1903) and James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) were also men of deep Christian commitment, in an era when many were nominal, apathetic, or anti-Christian. The Encyclopedia Britannica says "Maxwell is regarded by most modern physicists as the scientist of the 19th century who had the greatest influence on 20th century physics; he is ranked with Sir Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein for the fundamental nature of his contributions." Lord Kelvin was an Old Earth creationist, who estimated the Earth's age to be somewhere between 20 million and 100 million years, with an upper limit at 500 million years based on cooling rates (a low estimate due to his lack of knowledge about radiogenic heating).

Max Planck (1858-1947)
Planck made many contributions to physics, but is best known for quantum theory, which revolutionized our understanding of the atomic and sub-atomic worlds. In his 1937 lecture "Religion and Naturwissenschaft," Planck expressed the view that God is everywhere present, and held that "the holiness of the unintelligible Godhead is conveyed by the holiness of symbols." Atheists, he thought, attach too much importance to what are merely symbols. Planck was a churchwarden from 1920 until his death, and believed in an almighty, all-knowing, beneficent God (though not necessarily a personal one). Both science and religion wage a "tireless battle against skepticism and dogmatism, against unbelief and superstition" with the goal "toward God!"

Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
Einstein is probably the best known and most highly revered scientist of the twentieth century, and is associated with major revolutions in our thinking about time, gravity, and the conversion of matter to energy (E=mc2). Although never coming to belief in a personal God, he recognized the impossibility of a non-created universe. The Encyclopedia Britannica says of him: "Firmly denying atheism, Einstein expressed a belief in "Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the harmony of what exists." This actually motivated his interest in science, as he once remarked to a young physicist: "I want to know how God created this world, I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts, the rest are details." Einstein's famous epithet on the "uncertainty principle" was "God does not play dice" - and to him this was a real statement about a God in whom he believed. A famous saying of his was "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."

I read just so far and you are right, many SUCCESSFUL virus and bacteria did not and need not change. However in other environments such as today, they are changing and rather rapidly at that. They would remain unchanged so long as their environment, whether in a an animal such as us or in nature remained constant. You lose this one.

However, why is it so important to disbelieve in this, does it threaten you and your beliefs in some way. I am not with you, yet I never feel threatened by others beliefs, just let it go and go smell the flowers.
